restoring 1970
2 questions: First, what do I use to paint the headliner in the cab? My father painted it with something white, and if all flaked off...looks like it snowed in there!Second, are the Dayton twin-piston calipers a rare thing? I am rebuilding the ones off my F-250 Heavy Duty Special, and am having trouble finding parts for these.

If they are like mine (stock) dual piston... I found rebuilt caliphers for 90.00 each. Napa Auto parts last year

Not sure what they used to paint the headliner, I just scraped all the flaks off then used regular spray paint, it turned out really nice but I also plan on getting it upolstered. As far as the barakes I cant help you out at all.

O'Reilly (417-862-3333) has the calipers for $39.99 each, not even worth the hassle of trying to rebuild when you can get lifetime warranted parts for so little. They also have the rotors for $60.00 each.
Good Luck.
